Engineering Manager

About the role

ABOUT ANTERIOR

Anterior is on a mission to transform healthcare administration, making it seamless and invisible so clinicians can focus on delivering care. We've built an AI-powered platform designed by clinicians, for clinicians, to simplify administrative workflows and improve patient outcomes. By combining clinical expertise with cutting-edge technology, we're revolutionizing healthcare operations with responsible AI.

We're growing rapidly and are backed by world-class investors including Sequoia, New Enterprise Associates (NEA), and Neo, along with notable angels including the founders of DeepMind, Google AI, and Inflection AI.

We're building exciting tech for huge customers and we trust in the foundations: keep it simple, build strong foundations, and the rest will follow.

THE ROLE

Anterior's engineering team builds the platform health plans rely on for clinical decision-making at enterprise scale. As we grow, we need engineering leaders who keep the team moving quickly, hold a high bar for quality, and help every engineer do the best work of their career.

As an Engineering Manager, you'll lead and grow a team of around 10-15 engineers in our New York office. You'll be responsible for the people on your team — how they're hired, how they grow, and how they work together — and for what the team delivers. This is a player-coach role, roughly 70% leading people and 30% hands-on: you'll stay close to the technical work, take part in design decisions, and contribute hands-on where it gives the team the most leverage.

You'll work closely with our founders and with our product and clinical teams, and you'll help shape how engineering at Anterior is organized as we scale.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

LEAD AND GROW THE TEAM

- Hold regular 1:1s, give clear and honest feedback (gather feedback for a team member from their peers/collaborators, and assess/message that feedback), and build development plans that help strong engineers become standout ones.

- Own performance reviews and career growth for your team, in line with our growth model.

- Hire for your team: define roles with us, run interview loops, assess for competence and fit, and close the engineers we want most.

- Build a team culture of ownership, care, and high standards.

DELIVER FOR OUR CUSTOMERS

- Plan and sequence the team's work in cooperation with TL (team lead) and TPM (technical program manager) so that execution is predictable and quality stays high.

- Partner with product, clinical, and customer-facing teams to turn real healthcare workflows into roadmaps and specs.

- Work with our enterprise customers' technical teams to scope integrations and support deployments.

- Own the reliability of your team's systems: keep your engineers' on-call rotation healthy, act as an escalation point during incidents, and drive postmortem follow-through.
